.It should Abe stated; of course, that in case the 'cells are provided with the usual paper jacket; the ysaine should be removed whereve'r the terminal clips are designed to engage the cupped portion of said cell. Indeed, 1n use the su port' is so effective that the lnper covering 'or each cell may be entire y removed-there being no danger of'short-circuitin since displacement of'either the up- Eer or ower endofthe cell is uarded against y `the support furnished 'or both ends.

c While ,it-.is preferable to have the positive Y.

andfnegative terminal clips of dierent shape Vor size, it is impossible to reverse the polarit I of the 'cell by an incorrect placing of the c l in the holder. This, ofcourse, is not-absolutely essential.

What I claim. is:

n, holder, devices carried thereby arranged to make electrical vand mechanical connection with a plurality of batteries, said devices including two sets of terminals, both terminals one of thetermlnals of a second set when no battery is in engagement with the first-mentioned set, and'a circuit closer in tlic firstmentioned 'set adapted to be operated by a lateral movement of the battery when the latter .is inserted in or removed from the holder.
